My experience so far

I’ve been living in Athens for almost 2 months, so much has happened so far and there are still 7 months left of my EVS experience. Before coming here I was struggling to find a job near my hometown in Italy and trying to figure out where I wanted my life to go. But I was lucky enough to be chosen for an EVS project in HYP.

I had many worries before even starting the EVS, since it’s my first time living outside my country, but I think I was able to manage my situation so far. At first everything was new, the first weeks were a sort of introduction of everything: the office, Athens, the EVS itself, etc. But after a month obviously I started getting used to my new life, I know some places and areas of the city quite well now, I don’t use google maps as much as I used to do at first, and I remember the road from my house and the office from memory: everything became routine. However, I still have many months left and I believe this project can still offer me great opportunities if I make the most out of them.

This blog is dedicated to the EVS experience shared by these five guys who moved from their homes to the vibrant city of Αθήνα. On how they immersed themselves in the daily life of the Greek people and what they have learned from this journey.
